    The error is in the instrument cluster itself, or replace or let the cluster repaired in a specialised shop.
  2. RFM
    I would remove the large connector and put, for a sort time power and ground by a spare battery, directly to the compressor connector. If the compressor start running you're already sure at that point. (always use test wiring's with a fuse between) Ask Loren for a electric diagram, if available, cause there are control box, relays, fuses and connectors in between the system.
  3. RFM
    If all of the suspension related mechanical parts, sensors, pneumatic parts, connectors and wiring's are visually in good condition, then only a PIWIS diagnostic can help.

    "bigsuzuki", there is indeed only one air suspension compressor present, i think "mudman" means the air distribution valves housing.

    In case of a wide diversity of oil spots over the power train it is advisable to have cleaned everything thoroughly, drive the car for a few days and let him inspect. This makes it easier to detect the leak(s).
  6. RFM
    I have heard nothing special, at least no more or less than 996. :)

    It should still be a triple square bolt on the cylinder head side, the previous owner has probably destroyed the bolt with presumption it was a Torkx, this happens a lot.
  8. RFM
    If you cant find center bolts in the flange(s) on both or one side of the gearbox, than they pull simply out. In that case they are hold by a steel snap ring lock system inside the diff. Hope it helps.
  9. RFM
    Perhaps the mechanisms outside the gearbox, where the cables are connected, is bend by a obstacle or so. The mechanisms can touch each other or the gearbox case under some conditions.

    If it happened every morning after the car has made a longer drive ( approx. 10 Km. ) it could be that the AOS is defective. If the car is only moved over short distances ( in and out of the garage or till the end of the street ) it is a rather normal behaviour.

    :welcome: Let the fault codes read first otherwise it will be guessing.
  12. RFM
    Remove the injectors and let them test in a Bosch center is a good option.
  13. RFM
    My response was directed to member "sliderr" because he only has code P1123 on one cylinder bank, what is clearly a different problem. Vapour lock is very rare under normal driving/temp. conditions, the problem will sit elsewhere i think.
  14. RFM
    @ sliderr, code P1123: Oxygen sensing adaption area1 (cyl. 1-3) Lean Threshold means that cyl. bank 1 run too Rich ! A leaking or bad injector can cause this issue.
  15. RFM
    Yes, the arrow is pointed to the clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve. A short version of a normal wrench is recommended and make it a lot easier.
  16. RFM
    Porsche does not sell the dust seals separately, perhaps some more specialized shops ?
  17. RFM
    Only the left brake light is directly operated by the switch, the center and right brake light are operated via a control box. The use of a diagnostic tool is recommended to detect the error.
  18. RFM
    As Loren says, but both lights will go on when one of the switches are closed, in other words when the trunk lid is open, the light in the engine room will also be activated and vice versa. The switches are located inside the locking mechanism front and rear.
  19. RFM
    P1117/1121 refer to the sensor heating, i would check that first. It could be something simple as a bad connection or a short in the wiring, but also a faulty sensor. Use a diagram with the pin # to make it easier.
  20. RFM
    Tire pressure for your car is: front 2.0 bar and rear 2.5 bar. Alignment should be done with a full fuel tank !
  21. RFM
    The cable can be replaced on a Tip car with the engine in place as well but is much harder to do. There is simply more room to work in the engine bay on a manual.
  22. RFM
    European also give an error code + CEL and a rough running engine, unless something on the system is wrong.
  23. RFM
    Or there is a defect in the window mechanism, or the window (front part) is loose from the mechanism. In both cases the door trim should be removed to have a clear look inside the door.
  24. RFM
    Probably is the cluster internal speaker dead, you can find in specialized audio stores a replacement speaker, the dealer only sells only a complete instrument cluster.
  25. RFM
    That is the older one which is used together with a toothed hub, no problems with the bearing possition in this case.
